May I ask why you're downgrading? I can't remember how fast ICS was, but I find 4.2.1 almost unusable unfortunately

4.2.1 unusable?
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox
Gapps +..: JusTunBean Inverted
Kernel: Mackay 0.240
Might be my device, not sure.
Currently downloading the rom in your sig, hopefully it will be faster
Yes works perfect, you can try it.
But you have i9000T in your Sig. I'm not sure if it will not create any problem.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox
Gapps +..: JusTunBean Inverted
Kernel: Mackay 0.240
T model just has a different radio antenna thankfully, everything else is the same
Edit: Do you use apps such as Chrome, FB, Viber/whatsapp?
I only use Chrome. All others I don't use because they consume too much battery.

You have to find a ICS Rom ( Cyanogenmod for example ), do a factory reset in CWM, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reinstall the new ICS ROM.
But I don't understand why you want to downgrade, JB is much more stable and faster than ICS

1) which ics roms r safer as of now?
2) is criskelo rom safe?
The latest stock ROMS that came out last month or so I've heard.They say brick issue is solved now with the CFROOT 5.6.Can't confirm though I wish someone could.
All cyanogenmod roms are said to have a kernel that's "safe" from the brick bug and the aosp ui of cyanogenmod roms greatly trump in comparison to the touchwiz ui!
I'd recommend CM9 roms as they're free from the brick bug.
Asylum ICS (CM9)
That's the best user experience you can have from your Note!

All ICS custom roms are safe if you follow the proper procedure to install it....

As long as you flash abyss kernel before you flash the rom, you ll be fine. Also with the rom make sure you run a safe ketnel like franco, speedmod and a few mirea
Hi there! I would like to ask these:
1. Is it necessary to do a factory reset every time you flash a rom? What is this feature useful for?
2. Which do you think it's the best Jelly bean rom for the galaxy note? (im currently using CM10 Nightlies.)
Thank you very much

If you are updating your rom like changing from nightly to nightly on cm10 most likely you won't need to factory reset.. Factory reset its not a feature its a procedure... And you can only perform this procedure from a safe kernel (cm9/10 kernels /Hydracore /speedmod) because of the emmc brick bug...
In order to be able to change roms or to fix some issue like wake locks or hang ups sometimes you gotta factory reset..
FOR ME best JB are samsung TW UX based roms.. Xls7 with multi windows its a beast.. AOSP Roms are way behind samsung

I like the PA: Utacka ROM
1. Depending on the rom and the OP.
2. pa by utacka is the rom for me.
Hi my name is Luxor and i am a flashoholic but thanks to paranoid android i've been clean for weeks.
Thanks for the info! Could you please share the link for the rom you are using? Is that jelly bean as well?
Is it a good idea to flash that through mobile Odin pro? I did not see a factory reset option just the cache cleaning ones in Odin.
Secondly, does it matter which gapps file I use when flashing? There are several ones of different dates.
I'm new to all this do my questions I'm sure are silly, but quite enjoying the rooted phone.
Thank you a lot!

roms are available in the development section of this forum, the opening post describes if they are jelly bean or ics based
you cant flash custom roms through mobile odin
you have to use gapps for JB with a JB based rom and gapps for ics with an ics based rom, its best to use the most recent releases, then you can choose between multidpi and inverted varieties..... your choice
On sweetrom for a day, everything seem good. Can consider flashing!

I am on TMT 5 JB rom and I am happy with this rom. The rom is smooth with good battery life and I like the muti window feature. I was on paranoid rom which I also like for a while. With the multi-window feature I do not think I will go back to paranoid rom unless it has the same feature.
I have decided for TMT 5 as well, downloaded it and has some great features, the icons seem rather blocky but I can make my peace with that given the extras. Could anyone share the link where the updates of that rom are? Have found this initial version but not where the changelogs are. Thanks a lot!

If you are looking for a Samsung JB ROM, I would recommend Ultimate XXLSC ROM. I've been using Ultimate's (joosh) ROMs since XXLS2, and they are really good. But always do a full wipe before flashing the ROM, using a safe kernel, to avoid any issues. Follow my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024481
using ultimate rom v5.1 at 240dpi...but at 240dpi the ink effect is gone....not using a live wallpaper!
i always used OASP ROMS mostly of PAm very good but now i did see a touchqiz rom online with multiple windows support etc. I sure wanne give it a try. Does anyone know which ROM is stable and safe wiht futures like this:
Also, im on ParanoidAndoird with PIE, and on utackas kernal. Can i just wipe rom and flash trough cwm or is it safer to get back to GB and then reroot and thenm flash with cwm?
thnx in advance
utackas and cm kernels are safe. Try Ultate XXLSC v.5.1 by joosh3.

mm had my eye also on that rom, seems good, pictures added and updated frequently, so just do full wipe cache dalvik and install this rom? then flash philzz?? or stay at rom stock kernal? im pretty new with touchqiz roms and i also not sure if XXLSC can be flashed on my n7000? does it have any reason why that is in the title or can i just flash?

The kernel you're flashing before installing Rom doesn't matter since with v4 will be replaced by PhilZ 3.1 for XXLS7
Hey... It seems I have been long gone from the forums and had a hard time trawling through everything..
Now right now.. I'm using my galaxy note with
Baseband version N7000XXKK5
ROM - Antoniomistrettaa XXKK 9
Kernel - cf root kernel
My simple question is -
Which is the best ICS based ROM for normal usage and good battery life...
I just want a rock solid surprise stable ROM & kernel... But the choices are confusing... Please help...
And how do I go about this... Considering I'm still on 2.3.6

Simple. The latest rocketrom v12 ics with philz kernel v4.35oc
Fast, stable and rock solid.

Thanks... How do I go about it?
A noob proof guide will be most welcome...
(although I'm a senior member, but I'm totally out of touch since a long time)
And can I just upgrade normally?
And do all the common (daily use apps) apps and common big name title games work nicely?
Sorry if I'm apprehensive
EDIT - some big name alternatives to rocket rom will also be appreciated... Btw.. I have seen this forum & rocket rom since the inception... Although I couldn't participate due to some reasons...
Are the miui roms stable and have good compatibility?
And which JB/ICS rom is best of everyday aside from rocket rom...
Some links will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks a lot.. But I guess I'm stuck with a full wipe followed by a flash to rocket rom JB or ics...
Which one is better? JB or ICS...
So if in coming from gingerbread... I need to first do a full wipe and then install some ICS based ROM with a rooted stock kernel or something like that?
Some instructions & a link to the thread will be appreciated...
Tapashocked via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice !
First flash a philz kernel. These are rooted stock but use the ics 3.99 version.
Philz kernel can be flashed from stock recovery. Its in the original developer tread.
Then you can flash rrv12 ics. With full wipe.
Personaly im on jb lsz official rooted rom for the netherlands. Which is good and stable.
Have fun flashing.

Thanks a lot... So first right now... I should take a back up with titanium backup... Then flash the philz kernel.. Which one to flash? Sorry if I'm sounding totally noobish
I hardly get time from clinical work...
Then I should flash rocket rom? Version 1.2 ICS?
JB not good?
Plz reply and thanks a lot for ur patience

Re: Help.... Firmware frenzy,
Make a backup with titanium but dont restore system data or settings only user apps.
Flash a kernel from philz the 4.88.4 is the latest i know of. Then flash whatever rom you like.
When flashing the rom the kernel will also be overwritten.
Rr v12 ics is fast and stable. I always used hydracore 4.3b oc.
Or try a samsung original jb rom but flash a philz kernel after the rom to get root.
The choice is up to you.

If you're on a safe firmware try installing cm9. You'll love it. It's quite stable and it's way faster than the touchwiz bloatware

Thanks but Cm9 not for me.. Haven't a good experience in my i9003 and game and app compatibility is usually a lil risky.
I guess I'll try to go for the philz kernel JB route and if you have aosp rom in mind lemme know..

I would say if you want to use a custom jelly bean rom then i will recommend you slim bean instead of cm 10.1
If u want a good ics custom rom them cm9 is for you
For tw based ics custom rom, Criskelos rom is the best touch wiz rom.

I had used it, but I wanted some AOKP mods, so i shifted to the AOKP version of it.
